The astronomy cloud computing system is down. Again.

(It is down a lot, but I don't use it that often lately. Otherwise I would complain a lot more)

Always makes me so sad that there's just buttloads of money being dumped into AI data centers so people can make awful slop no one wants, but the science computing infrastructure is held together with hope, duct tape, and someone's leftover grant money from 5 years ago.

@randahl Is it Musk or MaybeAI-lline? I never imagined that a nepo tweedledee who is also a world respected coke connoisseur knows what deductive conclusions are. Beyond that despicable and moronic post, people should be gone from X like yesterday.

All this. And note that Hungarians didn’t •just• vote; they organized the heck of themselves, they built coalition on top of coalition, they fought and finagled their way around state control, and •then• they voted.

The election wasn’t the •cause• of Orbán’s defeat; it was the •tool•.
